I'm not overthinking. It is what it is. You can't donate directly to impulse FF development. But you may buy subscriptions to Pocket/Relay or Mozilla VPN.

I'd prefer to donate money to really useful ORGs on the likes of archive, wikipedia, OSM, Arch Linux, EFF and so on. Today's Mozilla is just a cash-grab mismanaged scam.
